failed morphosis
she faced the exuvium
fledging and yet
clipped dragonfly

as a fruit awaited
the days to bring color
to harden her wings

she drank and healed
ate the heads of bees
and once more the mold
proved not made of herself

it was the river
the digested sting
coated in pollen
in thick hemolymph

those into which
she was made and where
she too would devour
later and now
holometaboly
